Bentgrass Seed
Bentgrass is able to survive under high-traffic, high-stress conditions and can withstand extremely close cutting heights. Because of these characteristics, it is only natural that Bentgrass is widely used on a variety of golf courses including greens, tees, and fairways. Bentgrass is able to thrive in a variety of climate zones including cool, transitional, and arid. Bentgrass provides a dense surface resilient to weeds but must be fertilized and watered regularly to avoid harmful diseases and insects. Bentgrass can be mowed at heights between 1/10 and 1/2 of an inch. It spreads via above ground runners called stolons or tillers (shoots from the crown).
Spectrum Creeping Bentgrass
Spectrum (LNS 19) is the latest generation creeping bentgrasses being developed at Rutgers University. Spectrum is the leading choice for golf courses that demand the highest turf quality and greatest resistance against a range of stresses. This variety is at the top of its class for Dollar Spot resistance, spring green up, traffic and wear tolerance in addition to overall turf quality. Optimal shoot density, pleasing bright green color and an upright growth habit make Spectrum the perfect choice for INTERSEEDING into older vareiteis.
